Relationship Between Type of Bow Holding and Propagation of Performed Sound in Small Concert Hall in Violin Performances
Akihiro Matsutani · Japanese Journal of Applied Physics · 2005
The propagation of violin sound performed by eight amateur players was compared in the front and rear seats of a small concert hall. It was found that the propagation of the performed sound in the hall is different according to the type of bow holding of the players and the difference of the instrument. The relationship between the player and the instrument influences the listeners' impressions in the concert hall. It is important to perform a sound that is adjusted to the characteristics of the concert hall to minimize the decrease in the sound level in the rear seats of the hall.
